Google Maps Voice Prompt Not working on iOS 16 and Car Play

Hello Everettus,

You've walked through great steps to isolate the issue. To confirm, are you noticing if this happens when using Siri for other apps or only when asking for directions in Google Maps? If the issue is specific to Google Maps, you'll find the steps listed below helpful in reaching a resolution. You'll also find these steps outlined in the following article. While the title of the article references a different issue, we can assure you that these steps are relevant.

1. "Force the app to close."
2. "Restart your iPhone."
3. "To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
4. Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed."

If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

 Have a great day!

Everettus,

We appreciate you trying those steps out. We recently released a new version of iOS, 16.1.2. This installs feature enhancements and bug fixes that can resolve issues like this. This shows how to back up and update if you need it: Update your iPhone or iPad

If this continues to occur after updating and only this app is affected, then the app developer would be the best equipped to investigate this behavior further. Reach out using this article: How to contact an app developer

Cheers!

Everettus,

Since this is occurring with multiple apps and in multiple vehicles, then we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support. They can take a deeper look into this issue with you. Contact them here: Apple Support

Best regards.

Seems again Apple released it's updates without checking it works with google maps on Carplay first. I know you don't like each other but its us your customers that are having to suffer!

Google maps is my goto preference in the car purely because I like realistic satellite imagery of my surroundings.

voice search is virtually useless again and many features are very laggy. I have red icon on the phone app which would normally indicate a voicemail but are is no voicemails.

Latest update 16.1.2 has made no difference to the issues that the new 16 brought with it!

Please sort it out Apple!!!
